The article shows a specific character of “innovation” in pedagogical and socialphilosophical aspects. The authors introduce such consideration that allows resolving the contradictions that have arisen recently between theory and methodology of consideration of this concept in pedagogy and social philosophy. The authors think that consideration of this specific notion in philosophy of education as a new area of social knowledge can serve as an integrating moment in removing these contradictions. The authors of the article do not pose a problem of giving a complete definition of this concept; however, some separate aspects, being discussed in the article, can form a basis for the future work.
